Zhang Xiaocui didn't realize the meaning of Lan Guoer's words at the moment. It was not until later, when she and Tang Wen made money from selling mountain products, that she realized Lan Guoer's good intentions.
The men were playing drinking games and the atmosphere was still lively, with no sign of parting.
The children seemed unusually quiet, especially Tang Xiu and Tang Feng. They didn't say much during the meal and looked unhappy.
During the time that the triplets have been back, they play with them the best, and they are reluctant to see their younger brothers and sisters leave.
Xiao Nuan seemed to see what her two sisters were thinking. She rummaged through her pockets and pulled out a few strawberries and little rabbit hair ties.
"Sister Feng, Sister Xiu, this hairband is Nuannuan's favorite. Nuannuan is giving it to you sisters. Just think of Nuannuan as accompanying you sisters~"
Sisters, you must not forget Nuannuan. Once you are admitted to university, you can go to Kyoto to find Nuannuan."
Xiao Nuan remembered what Tang's mother often said to Tang Xiu and Tang Feng after she came back:
Our Tang family doesn't discriminate against boys; boys and girls are treated equally! As long as you study hard, you can leave this mountain village and go to the city, or even Kyoto, to attend the university of your choice!
Tang Feng and Tang Xiu caressed the hairbands in their hands with care. They had never seen such delicate and beautiful hairbands. The strawberries and little rabbits on them were crystal clear and vivid, just like the real ones.
"Sister Nuannuan, you wait for me. I will definitely come to find you when I grow up!" Both of them nodded vigorously!
There is always a time for gathering and separation.
The next morning, two jeeps stopped one after another at the gate of Old Tang's house.
The two drivers who drove them were the same ones who had brought them back before the New Year.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jun did not come with them and asked the driver to tell them that he was waiting for them at a state-owned hotel near the train station.
These days, Tang's mother prepared a lot of things to bring back to the capital, most of which were wild game and local specialties from the mountains.
These days since she came back, she has been talking about Madam Lan and Qinghe a lot. Whenever she eats something delicious, she always wants them to have a taste of it too.
Tang Ming and Tang Wen loaded the things into the car one by one, and the Tang family gathered at the gate.
"Dad, Mom! Remember to send a telegram home if there is anything! Fourth brother, fourth sister-in-law, come back often when you are not busy." Tang Ming instructed.
"Grandma, Fourth Aunt, don't worry about home. Xiu'er will help you clean the yard often!" Little Tang Xiu promised in a crisp voice.
"Feng too!"
Looking at her family getting into the car, Tang Feng's eyes turned red and she had to force herself to hold back her tears.
"Good! You're all good kids!" Tang's mother waved at them. "Go back, it's cold outside! Remember what grandma told you, study hard and get into college in the future!"
Parting is always sad!
Li Jinhua and Zhao Laidie, who are usually noisy, are now standing silently on the side of the road with listless expressions.
Accompanied by the shouts of children, two cars drove out of the quiet mountain village one after another and disappeared at the end of the snow and ice.
Li Jinhua frowned!
The Spring Festival was almost over, and she had already vaguely anticipated that Dong Miao would most likely not cooperate with them to make clothes again!
From now on, they will probably have to go to the fields on time to earn work points and tighten their belts to make a living like before!
Zhang Xiaocui and Zhao Laidie obviously haven't realized this yet.
"Why!"
Zhao Lai Di? Sigh!
"Now that Mom and Dad are gone, it'll be at least another year before they come back! I wonder what delicious food they can bring us next time?"
As she was thinking, she smacked her lips, looking fascinated.
The Tang family had obviously gotten used to Zhao Lai Di's greed! They glanced at her and turned to walk towards their respective homes.
......
The road conditions were bad these days and the road was covered with snow, so the driver drove carefully all the way.
It took nearly three hours for the two cars to reach the state-owned hotel near the train station.
At the innermost part of the hotel, in a private room reserved for entertaining leaders, seven or eight people were already sitting around a round table that could accommodate more than a dozen people!
Lu's father and mother, Lu Jun's aunt Song Yingzi, and Song Yingzi's three daughters, Zhang Hui, Zhang Chao, and Zhang Yang, as well as the youngest son Zhang Cong, were all among them.
Lu Jun was already getting a little impatient and kept looking out the window.
"It's clearly a two-hour journey, and it's already been three hours, why haven't we arrived yet?"
"You are such a grown-up, why are you still so impatient? It's just a matter of waiting a little longer!" Father Lu glanced at him dissatisfiedly!
As the mayor of Bin City, he is very busy every day. He only has time for this meal by postponing an important meeting!
He is not anxious at all, I really don’t know why this brat is so anxious!
"Yes! The road is not easy to travel during the coldest days of winter. We just need to wait a little longer!" Lu Jun's aunt Song Yingzi nodded.
"Xiao Cong was able to escape this time, all thanks to the Tang family!
And the plaster that Comrade Lan gave me is truly a miracle cure! It's only been a few days, and look at Xiao Cong's legs, they're like nothing happened!
Xiaojun is so lucky that he can meet noble people in every village! Unlike your cousin,
Song Yingzi said, glancing at Zhang Cong, "What a rotten luck! All the people he met were monsters and demons."
"Xiaojun, is it true that Comrade Guo'er just turned twenty this year as you said?"
When Zhang Cong's elder sister Zhang Hui heard Lu Jun talk about Lan Guoer's abilities, she was full of admiration and respect, and her curiosity was as intense as a cat scratching!
I always feel that the person Lu Jun is talking about doesn't seem to exist in this world.
"How could it be fake?" When talking about Lan Guoer, Lu Jun's eyes were full of pride!
"I'm the same age as Xiaoguo'er's third brother. Xiaoguo'er is two years younger than both of us. Isn't this exactly twenty years old?"
"Then this Comrade Guo'er is really amazing! At such a young age, he is already a specially invited doctor of the Military General Hospital!" Zhang Cong's second sister Zhang Chaoqing nodded, feeling ashamed.
"I'm six years older than him, and look at me now, I haven't accomplished anything!"
Zhang Yang nodded and agreed, "Yes! If that's the case, we're really far behind Comrade Guo'er! We have to work harder from now on!"
"You have all worked hard and done a great job!" Lu's mother, Song Yingci, looked at her three nieces with loving eyes.
Eldest sister Song Yingzi has raised her three daughters very well! They are sunny, positive, hardworking and motivated!
Before Lu Jun went to the countryside, he was far inferior to the three sisters.
Thinking of these, Song Yingci also felt emotional!
If she hadn't met Lan Guoer and Su Tang's families, she really didn't know what her silly son would be like now?
“Here it comes! Here it comes!”
Lu Jun saw the car driving towards the hotel entrance through the window and rushed out shouting.
